Thanks. Was that the rick Scott video?

Good point. G is a passionate person [ IMO a genuine human being ] and often she makes a good reply to a thread only to launch into a rant. It gives the other side the chance to ignore the thread and start an attack on G herself.

Ditto. I'm afraid though that he has already realised that trying to have an adult conversation with LWW and the the rest of the rat pack, is pointless.

Excellent post Sack. I thought we had lost you to the dark side but I was wrong. Hat off to you mate.

Remarkable.You leak a story, and then you quote the story. I mean,that's a remarkable thing to do

IMHO, sev is only next to johnny d. in spreading the hate.
This is why I erroneously believed he was johnny.
I now know it to be dub.

Thanks Q... and nah I'm the same ol' me I always was. I just post far less frequently, and I suppose the rare instances that I do are with Gayle, hence giving the 'dark side' appearance you mention [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

OK, OK, I'll admit... I am definitely lost on the dark side... just not the one you are referring to [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

I know you two have your issues and all. But today for example I recall off the top of my head Sev posting one on Mayan ruin discovery as well as one on some comet collisions. Credit where credit is due, it is interesting stuff.

Your the biggest joke.

WHY DID YOU LIE?

A school teacher and talking of porn the way you do.You have got to be kidding.These other puppets are just as bad.

That being said, I will confess that my posts have dropped of in quality because even a thread about baseball or photography of astronomy or shooting sports or many other benign issues becomes trolled by the cabal.

I have said since I came here that there will be peace when they want peace. They have no desire for peace and I have no desire to bow my head to thugs who hide behind the anonymity of the keyboard threatening others with violence, lawsuits, false law enforcement reports, theft of intellectual property and cyber attacks.

If you honestly can't understand that, then I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for you. </div></div>

what I don't get is why continue the trend? I've told Hondo before to not sink to a certain level. Would be hypocritical for me to not tell you the same just because we're both righties and love baseball. If that's how you see it, be the peace bringer rather than waiting to accept the olive branch. I know at times you have tried, but really dude you are far too intelligent for some of the stuff you wind up posting. Seems a waste of your time and talents on many things. Again, you do post some good threads too... I'm not at all saying every bit is dreck, but some of it is.

Sack </div></div>

When they threatened violence against my wife, when they hacked my personal business account, when they threatened me with legal action, when they threatened to turn me in to HSA ... they crossed the Rubicon.

I would love to have this be a peaceful forum, but I will not suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous injustice in silence.

The cabal here are IMHO not normal people, they are trolls who get a sick pleasure from attempting to destroy people's reputations and silencing all POV's that aren't moonbat crazy POV's.

The funny thing in all this is that I am very much a social liberal and on political tests consistently score out left of center.

The cabal consistently attempts to portray me as a rabid conservative only because They are all jealous of you LWW.They can't keep up with you in debating so they attack us.
